Alcohol-induced mood disorder with depressive symptoms – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/241576806

Alcohol-induced mood disorder with depressive symptoms is characterised by the presence of depressive symptoms judged to be the direct consequence of alcohol use. Manic symptoms are not present. The symptoms are not better accounted for by Depressive disorder or Bipolar disorder, as might be the case if the depressive symptoms preceded the onset of the alcohol use or if the symptoms persist for a substantial period of time after cessation of alcohol use.
